"The Minister of Communication and Information of the Government of Venezuela, Freddy Ñáñez, announced this Monday [Mar. 4] the expulsion of the German channel Deutsche Welle from all cable service companies in the country, accusing the television station of 'broadcasting content and promoting hate propaganda' against the nation.
The measure has had an immediate effect. A few days before, the German state television station had posted content on social media in which it collected information attributed to Transparency International, which placed Venezuela as the second most corrupt country in the world."
